Abstract: Explosive eruptions of volcanoes, such as that which destroyed Pompeii, are especially threatening to neighbouring human populations. Understanding of this type of eruption is still at an early stage, although it is clear that fragmentation of magma in the conduit inside the volcano is a key process. New models of magma fragmentation provide improved — but still imperfect — simulations of the behaviour of real volcanoes.
